BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA MEMBERSHIP RESOLUTION AND THE LDS CHURCH
On May 23rd, The Boy Scouts of America voted to make a membership change to allow all youth to participate in the Boy Scout program - while maintaining strong conviction to Duty to God.

Following the passing of the resolution, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reaffirmed its century-old strong association with the Boy Scouts of America. You can read a new book, "Scouting in the LDS Church - A Centennial History" - which is available now - and in reading the book, you will know and feel of the Church's commitment to Scouting and the youth of our nation. You can see how the new change fits with the Church association with Scouting over the past century and you can know that the Church will move forward with the BSA into the 2nd Century.

See the book Foreword information on this website and read the words by Elder Vaughn J. Featherstone, Former General Young Men President. Orders are being taken now for a limited edition of a hardbound book. Order on this site by July 4th - through the drop-down menu or direct with a check to Kevin V.

INTRODUCTION TO KEVIN HUNT AND SCOUTING TRAILS BOOKS

For most of my life, Scouting has BEEN my life! I am Kevin V. Hunt, a self-avowed Red-Coat Scouter from Mesa, Arizona. I love the Scouting program - and that's why I created this Scouting blogsite.

Over the years, It's been my privilege and honor to travel many Scouting trails and to have served in many Scouting roles - from Tenderfoot Gnubie to Eagle Scout - and from volunteer Scouter, trainer, and camp director to BSA professional Scouter -and almost everything in between. It's been a great life!

Scouting has been a major part of my life since I became a Cub Scout - and so for me, at my age, that equates to nearly half of the 100-year history of the Boy Scouts of America.

In addition, I'm also an avid and dedicated journal writer. Since I was 18 years of age, I've maintained a daily journal and have an entry for literally every day of my life since then!

Along my Scouting Trails, I've gained a few valuable and many humorous insights about this great game that we call the Boy Scouting program. Many of those insights have come as I've observed first-hand - AND RECORDED the Scouting world around me.

From those many volumes of my personal journals and other research, I've now extracted some great Scouting techniques and memories and have created a few books - which I hope will interest you and other great Scouters everywhere.

I've tried unsuccessfully through the years to get these books published as printed books. With proper help and resources, that might still happen. In the meantime, however, and with the modern computer miracle, I can now make these books available to you through or via computer download.

I invite you to take a peek at these Scouting books (each is described on a separate page tab on this blogsite). You can order on-line copies of the books also here on the website.
